All of his test results came back great! He still has a bit of a fever,
but is responding well to antibiotics, so they sent him home with some
clavomox. He's much more talkative, purrs, and is still eating and
drinking well. He's a bit anemic, but we've been battling fleas here
since the fosters came in (which is wierd, as they were on Advantage
when I got them, as are my guys). I'm much relieved. :)

thank you! He's still sleeping a lot, which is making Sophie and Audrey
very happy, but the kittens and Bubbas a bit bummed out. :)

That's great news! Since you are having problems with fleas despite using
Advantage, I would suspect that there are a lot of fleas in your home and
the cats are being reinfected. That would call for treating the premises
and possibly the exterior of the house or apartment (paying particular
attention to cat beds and to the edges of carpeting).

Ugh, I know I know. :) But where the $!@%!! did they come from? They
weren't here before! Those darn kittens. They're only going to get
*several* treats tonite, instead of *a bunch*. That'll show 'em... :)

I see you're the same kind of strict disciplinarian as I am.

Yes, I rule with an iron fist around here. <snort from Karen, whose back
is sore from sitting so long in an awkward position so as not to disturb
the sleeping cats on her legs

I am so happy to hear the great news!
Just as well; I look at Xena and she plays again, eats her mince laced with
antibiotic and doesn't cry anymore....I could HUG the entire Vet
Surgery!!!!!!!
Andr0:)
PS. A piece of Amethyst crystal in Ernie's water bowl might help fight
fleas.

Well, from many sources! I am very much into crystals myself, and wearing at
least 1 LB of them right now. Couldn't recall sources right now, but will
try to go back trough my records if this is important to you:)

No, it's okay, I just never heard it before. I'm a little bit into crystals
and gemstones (as well as loving jewelry, anyway) so I read a little about it
now and then...but not a whole lot. On my chart, I see it says for amethyst,
"strengthens endocrine and immune systems...powerful blood cleanser and
energizer..." as well as many other things. I just never would have thought to
put it into a water bowl for a cat.

Besides, if you like, I will be more than happy to send you a piece of
tumbled Amethyst for Ernie's water bowl - as long as you will provide a
postal address.

I know VERY well how you feel! I am over the moon, and so happy to see my
little sweet Xena better. This morning she came to me in our bed, sat there
and purred...and I patted her, and we sat like that for some 10
minutes......just happy to be together:)))))
Please give Ernie a hug from us:)

Glad to hear he's doing better. Any clue what made him sick?
Have you tried treating with Program as well? My understanding is it doesn't
kill the adult fleas but stops the eggs from developing into adults. Between
Program, Advantage and treating the carpets for fleas you should be able to
get it under control.

Thank you! He's back to his old trouble-causing self. I was thrilled
for about 2 seconds he started picking on his sister again, and then
he was back in trouble. <grin>
